Non-fiction review.

June 29, 2016 / / 0 Comments

The book that I would like to talk about is “A Basketball All-Star.” This book is just a guide to Beginners and how to play basketball and to succeed in the sport. It also helps people to improve them on their dribbling, shooting, determination and sportsmanship. The goes from step by step to becoming a maker of a champion.

I have used this book to help me excel in basketball and to improve on it. Also, I have started to go to basketball since November and my coach has helped me improve as well. Without this book I probably wouldn’t have made it this far in basketball. 

Book Review

June 14, 2016 / / 0 Comments

The book that I would like to talk about is a non-fiction called “World History.” This is talking about the key events and some of them are: Ancient Egypt, Mummies, Vikings, Ancient Rome  and much more. This book is very informative and gives a lot of fun and interesting facts about the key events.

My favourite part of the book was when they were talking about Ancient Egypt. What I learnt about the Egyptians was that the River Nile, the biggest river in the world, was what that made it. By that I mean that if the river Nile, if it wasn’t there Egypt might have never existed.

Once essay. (what kind of a child is Felix)

May 9, 2016 / / 0 Comments

From the book “Once” I can tell that Felix has a good upbringing. This is because his parents have sent him to an orphanage and this tells me that his parents have basically saved his life. In addition, what I could explore is that his parents have taught him well in good imaginary skills. Plus, he has good manners, he is quite curious and most importantly, he is very friendly. Once I was living in an orphanage” is a quote  from “Once” that shows he has a good upbringing.

Now to consider that, Felix has got good communication skills and he is good at interacting with other people. Not to mention, I can tell that Felix is good at talking to other people because when he was in the attic with all the other children the kids where begging Felix to tell a story. Also, I have realised that he is very creative and imaginative with his stories. “Can we have a story please Felix?” Is a quote that proves he is good at communicating.

Furthermore, Felix uses his imagination creatively because he knows how to tell stories that are informative and interesting. He also writes interesting stories about his mum and dad in his journal. This tells me that he enjoys to read books and to write them . “I’ve written stories about mum and dad”are the stories that he wrote and his a quote to prove this point.

He is also rule-breaking but does it for the best. This is because at the beginning of the story Felix was in an orphanage, he escaped to find his parents when he wasn’t supposed to but he did because he loves his parents. He is also very curious because in the book before he found Zelda he heard gunshots and people screaming and went a bit closer to see it. However, he could’ve been shot and killed. Now to consider that, he is friendly because he is kind and he looked after Zelda and he is calm. So this  is who I think Felix is.

 

How are horror stories effective.

May 6, 2016 / / 0 Comments

Horror stories are stories that have to be scary or quite scary and they should make us feel suspense and make us ask questions. My class and I have looked at a horror story by Anthony Horowitz and the name of the story is the man in the yellow face. The title doesn’t sound like a horror story but it sounds like a mystery story because you woulden’t see a man in a yellow face unless they paint it yellow. However, the story is a bit scary in it is a good children’s book. Also what this book has is that the setting is in a place where you would think it is not scary but the more you read the more suspense happens and the more scareer you feel. So I have used these tips to make my own horror story but I haven’t really started in a non-scary place. I started it in a comic store where a 13 year old boy is getting bullied and buys a comic with all the horrific creature and animals inside. So when he reads a page it will cause a disaster. So this is how I think a horror story and how it can affect from the way you write it.

 

My Mystery and Horror story

May 6, 2016 / / 0 Comments

On an ordinary Wednesday morning, there was and 13 year old boy who was always bullied in school because he wore glasses and people called him Nerdy Ferby. So one day he went to a small,old comic store to get his favourite comic store to get his favourite horror book that had zombies, monsters, disgusting giant insects and creepy dolls, that are so scary that you wouldn’t want to look at. So while he was listening listen to music he bought the comic. However, the shopkeeper was warning him about the book but Ferby did hear a word he was saying. He just took the book and went home.                                                    

So while he was reading he went to a page and read about  Creepsy the doll and when he finished the page… The door creaked. Nerves where stinging his skin. Suddenly a creepy doll with knitting marks around his head and body, creepy hands that have 3 fingers and approached slowly towards the bed. Ferby was screaming and what he did was that he ripped the page of the doll and threw it in the bin . Suddenly. It disappeared and Ferby was relieved and went back to sleep. However, it was a nightmare.Or was it…

The next day Ferby woke up and walked to school nervously as if it was a haunted mansion. Strolling along, the bully walked up to Ferby and quickly took the comic out of his bag without Ferby noticing. ‘LUNCHTIME!!!!’ shouted the kids as the bell rang. As Ferby walked towards the lunch hall he saw the bully reading his comic. Ferby acted quickly and ran towards him by shouting STOP! STOP! But it was too late. It all went silent. Mysterious creatures started to approach towards the kids. It was zombies with terrifying faces. Everyone started screaming and exiting the school buildings. Ferby nervously looked at the zombies and he slowly turned around to look for the comic. Arggggh!! Shouted the zombies and Ferby ran quickly to get the book and he immediately ripped the page and the zombies disappeared. “Phew!”said Ferby relieved.

Quickly Ferby ran home because he didn’t want to be in school alone. As he was running the book fell out of his bag and landed on a page, with a doll that can turn into a human.The only way for her to stay as a human is by touching people in the arm and when she lets go the person that she touched turns into a doll. Strolling across the pavement was a year 11. He stopped. Found the comic. Picked  it up. Went home reading the page about the doll. When Ferby went home he changed to his clothes and went to his bag and was about to throw his comic in the river. However His book wasn’t in his bag. Ahhhh!! There was a screaming 3 houses away. Ferby quickly ran out of the house and ran towards the screaming. The door was fully open a creepy doll was limping out of the door and was wanting to grab his arm. Quickly the Ferby picked up the comic for on the ground and ripped the whole book.It all went silent.

There was no more trouble in there again. Or was there. There was still on more page. Waiting to  be read…

Who is my favourite character in ‘Once’ (HWK3)

February 6, 2016 / / 0 Comments

My favourite character from Once is Felix. This is because he is the main character and is extremely funny in the historic book. Not to mention that, he is very naive and childish and doesn’t understand about how horrible and cruel the Germans were with the Jewish people. Now to consider he is also heroic at the same time because he saved a girl from a burning house and that girls name was Zelda who was about 6 years old. Felix took care of her and acted like the father. So This tells me that even though he was naive he still was a very good person and he had a good heart. He was the person in This story a good one and without Felix in the story the story would not be as good.

Stories that my parents told me (HWK2)

January 23, 2016 / / 0 Comments

When I was about 9 years old, my mum told me a story about my great grandfather, who was in World War One and Two and how he saved thousands of people from Poland. So it started off when my grand father was in the house in the basement and how he was listening on the radio. Suddenly, he heard the news that the Germans were going to invade the country. So he was quick and told all the people in Poland to get prepared for the invasion. By doing that he let the siren go on before the Germans came to the Border. Everyone evacuated and however some were taken to trucks. So that is my story and if my great grandfather wasn’t alive Poland would had been destroyed to bits.

Writing to an actor’s badge

November 24, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Dear Jackie Chan,

                         Hi. My name is Amir and I am 11 years old. I go to this amazing and sporty school, which is called the London Nautical school, and it is near Waterloo station. I live near Paddington station, which is in the west of London. I am a huge fan of yours and hope that you will teach me your Kung Fu moves one day. My favourite types of hobbies is playing football, playing FIFA and I enjoy playing Basketball. I am mostly busy everyday of the week because on Monday I have football, on Tuesday I have swimming, On Wednesday I have football, on Thursday I have Badminton, on Friday I go to Xpress Club, on Saturday I have football for my team, on Sunday I play a match for my team. So I basically have football four times a week and all the other clubs once a week. I am a sporty boy and that is why I went to the London Nautical school. Sorry for not mentioning this earlier but I was born on the 5th of July 2004.

In addition to that, I enjoyed the movies like ‘ The Spy Next Door, ‘Rush Hour and especially ‘The Accidental Spy.’ If you are reading this letter than you are in luck because I am going to ask you a few questions. Do you only enjoy acting action films or do you like acting in different types of movies? Also, do you like being the main character of the story?

I have a passion of acting comedies and I would like to thank you because of the funny speeches and actions you did in the films. Now my ambition is to be a funny actor and if I was a comedian, to get a bang of laughter. When I watch the movies that you have acted out and see it over and over again and I never get bored. It has been a real pleasure writing to you. Hopefully you will get this letter from where ever you are.

Keep acting and be funny in your new movies. Good luck in your acting and I hope that you will do well. I wonder where you act your movies. Do you act in China or America? I would like you to give me a favour. That favour is if you just maybe, just maybe take me to the studio and let me see you act out and that would be the 2nd best trip in the world. (By the way the best trip is when I will go to Italy for a week with my school). However, I can’t wait to go to Italy or to maybe even to China or America to see you perform a movie or a funny play. It will be a dream come true if that will happen.

Thank you for reading my extremely long letter. I really do appreciate it. I hope you would be able to write or reply back.

Yours sincerely, Amir Boris Adams
